Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or f-ing beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.- Al Swearengen

That is how the D's want it. They cannot take true power if they cannot get enough people to hate the opposition. When you are clearly trying to amass power you have to make it so there is an enemy. The progressives are trying desperately to make one half of America hate the other, while stomping the voice and rights of their opponents down.

Your post just made me think of the junk mail I got, which sadly is become more and more true.

The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

And the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.

And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are paying for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

This has been going on since the 60's and frankly I believe it is planned out and implimented intentionally. America has a lot of enemies. Some of them are smart enough to know that they cannot defeat us externally or by force. They have to rot our morals, values, and beliefs internally. Then create enough strife between the people of America to cause us to fall.

I actually don't believe that it is a conspiracy. I believe it is simply human nature at work.

Look at Venezuela and how it self destructed. No external plot just normal human shortcomings.

Cuba, Russia, China, NAZI Germany, fascist Italy, Zimbabwe, ... Again, these were not external plots to destroy these nations, but the confluence of self-destructive human nature. Detroit was not a plot. It was basic human nature at work when unconstrained by individual rights to their life, liberty, and property.

When you believe all men and their desires are equal, but you and yours are more equal and trump theirs for any reason, the self-destructive downside of human nature creeps in and can grow to catastrophic proportions if the government reinforces it as opposed to suppressing it.

The liberals focus on who said it as opposed to what was said and more importantly whether it is in fact true or not is how you end up telling people in their so-called democracy to go themselves.

Only the people with the right pedigree and right opinions have anything of value to add. Ironically, they truly believe they are promoting democracy. In reality, what they support and wish to impose is in effect a caste system where the only opinions that matter to government are those from the ruling caste which they believe they are entitled and necessarily must control by any means necessary.
